Time for a change!

For the past couple of months I've been feeling a little... well, blah.  With the wonderful additions of stretch marks, pregnancy mask (for those of you who don't know what this is, it's when you get brown spots or uneven splotches on your face... my face has turned into one big brown spot - it's lovely and makes me feel oh so attractive), weight gain, and not even being able to fit into my maternity clothes, I needed a change.  The only thing that I really have control over or can change right now is my hair and I've done that often for the past year.  I've had brown, blonde, caramel, red... just about every color you can make your hair - I've done it.  Then a couple of weeks ago when it became a reality that I was having a baby (yes, I realize it should have been realistic as soon as my stomach began to grow but let me remind you that I'm not the most normal pregnancy case around) the first thing I thought of was that the baby was going to see me and I wasn't going to look like myself.  Now I realize that babies can hardly even see and there is no chance at all that he's going to remember what I looked like the day he came out of the womb BUT I had this odd feeling that I wanted to at least look a little more like my natural self when he is born.  So after browsing many pictures on the internet and magazines I decided to chop some inches off of my hair and turn it back... well, closer to my natural color.  Here's the outcome!... (p.s. I don't smile in pictures right now because my face is SO fat!.. and I guess a more fair comparison would be if I didn't curl and fix my hair in the 'after' picture but you get the point. :) )
